Some of what I consider my best turnings have been hard to sell. At
least for the prices that I thought they should. Like you said,
people pick them up and say "this is really cool" and then they put
them down and don't buy.

Over the past couple of years I have had several individuals tell me
that I was attending and selling my turnings in the wrong places. I
have traditionally chosen craft fairs or arts and crafts rather than
art shows.

This past year I tried a higher end show. The people attending this
show ignored the turnings that I would usually sell at a craft show
and devoured my other turnings. It was an eye opener for me.

This year I am planning on attending more art shows. People come to
art shows specifically to find and purchase the unusual. Also, I will
not be in competition with candles, pot holders, bird houses and
homemade soap

Make sure you are choosing your intended buyers carefully.

Not much choice around here. My intended buyers are those with some money.
